Blairgowrie Bridge
Blairgowrie Bridge
Blairgowrie Bridge spans the River Ericht in the town of Blairgowrie, Perthshire, and serves as a practical put-in point for paddlers tackling this stretch of river.
Kayak and canoe trips commonly begin just below the road bridge, where the first few kilometres offer small rapids suitable for both beginners willing to portage and more confident paddlers looking for a taste of whitewater.
Beyond the bridge, the river passes the Kitty Swanson footbridge before settling into gentler meanders with good wildlife and scenery, continuing downstream toward Couttie Bridge.
The bridge is also a starting point for the popular Ericht Walk, from which walkers can follow either bank upstream to notable features such as Cargill's Leap.
